Doesn't tcpdump 4.0.0 require libpcap 1.0.0?  SFW has 0.9.8.

As an aside, beware that 1.0.0 doesn't compile on Solaris; I submitted a
fix for that upstream that was integrated into the source a few weeks
ago, so the next release will be usable.  If tcpdump 4.0.0 is in fact
dependent on libpcap 1.0.0, then I suspect that this case will either
need to have a case dependency on an as-yet-to-be-submitted case to
upgrade libpcap to 1.0.x, or include the libpcap 1.0.x in this case.  If
it's not dependent on libpcap 1.0.0, then please ignore my
ramblings. :-)  Please specify either way.
